I would really love to see some studies or proof that shows that two light coats of spray paint affects any cooling properties the intercooler has. I have never had any issues with mine, so it may be true but the effect it has on cooling properties is minimal at best.

 

:werd:
now if you went in there and layed on layer after layer of paint, not stopping untill youve got an 1/8th in layer of gloss black on the thing then yea id say youd be in for some trouble. BUT This is has only a couple really light coats, and actualy if you look at it in differnt angles theres a mess of completly unpainted areas :uhhok:

 

i think its $45 more not $60, ive only heard that spray paint messes the intercooler up, but have not seen any proof

 

like my bro said if u look at different angles there are some parts that are still sliver, the little amount of paint i put on there wont hurt it at all, if it does it would be so minute that u wont notice.
